The Real Greek Marylebone is a neighbourhood taverna at 56 Paddington Street, a short walk from Baker Street. The restaurant is built around relaxed Greek sharing and a charcoal grill, with the wider group placing an emphasis on ingredients sourced from small Greek producers.
Cold meze include houmous, tzatziki, whipped spicy feta, dolmades and taramasalata, with warm flatbread and a dip trio helping a group build a shared opening course. Hot plates such as fried calamari, lamb meatballs, spanakopita and courgette fritters add contrasting textures and both meat and plant based choices.
Souvlaki from the grill ranges from chicken, pork, lamb and loukaniko sausage to halloumi, aubergine, prawns, octopus and sea bream. Greek salad, rice, potato salad and chickpea salad can be added alongside, while wraps combine grilled fillings with flatbread, chips, tomato, onion and a matching sauce.
Taverna classics such as pastitsio and moussaka sit beside set menus designed to combine meze, souvlaki and sides. Greek orange cake, baklava and yoghurt with honey continue the regional theme at dessert, and the menu marks vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options; guests with allergies should still confirm their requirements with staff.
Address: 56 Paddington Street, Marylebone, London W1U 4HY, England
